A Monkey High Review and more
I’ve been thinking of changing my blogs title for a while. Right now it’s Yokihana’s blog and I’m still trying to decide on a better title. It might stay Yokihana’s blog, or I’ve been playing with a few ideas like “A Nerdy Girls Blog”. I’m still thinking about it, so we’ll see. I’m hoping to have some time soon to work on the pages a bit more and work on apperance of the information on the pages.
Without further ado, I wrote a review of Monkey High Vol. 1 recently and it’s up and ready for your reading pleasure. If you haven’t checked this book out I do recommend it. It’s not your typical shojo in some aspects 
You can read the full review here: http://mangacafeblog.com/archives/731.
The other day I was sitting in class and my professor was talking about skills we have. She mentioned one girl and praised her for her abilty to be able to speak several foreign languages fluently. She then looked straight at me (I figured it was coming lol) and my mind thought. HM…I guess she’ll pick my ability to sew since I’m well known for that and I’m pretty good at it. Or in the off-chance, I am a good cook/baker so maybe that. No, she looked at me and said “And Rebecca has a vast understanding and knowledge of Japan.”
Me: (what, my unique skill is being obessed with Japan?)
She went on for a minute about why its useful and in the meantime I turned red and didn’t look around. It’s kind of funny in a way too because recently she’s been asking me questions about Japan related to what we’re discussing. We were talking about population declines and birthrates and she asked me about it (and yes I did know it as well as Chinas). Uh…if you haven’t noticed I’m in a class about families and I’m a family and consumer science major (though I just want my elementary education license 
).
Monkey High is something I’ve been meaning to read but I’ve been passing it up for other manga haha. I think I remember previewing it in Shojo Beat some time ago. I’ll add it to my eventually-going-to-read-list :3
Wow, your classroom size must be very small if the teacher actually knows you. In mine, there are too many people for the professors to care about. Maybe it’s because we have different majors?
Good luck finding a blog title you like. You’ll find something that suits you
I actually go to a private college and its small enough to the point where everyone knows everyone pretty much (1500 students). I think the most I’ve ever had in a class is 28 and I’ve had as few as 8 in a class. My history classes tend to be smaller, education are in the middle and family and consumer sciences are the biggest.
